Network Requirements - Alcatel Temporis IP100 Administration And Provisioning Manual

Network Requirements

A switched network topology is recommended for your LAN (using standard 10/100 or
10/100/1000 Ethernet switches).
The office LAN infrastructure should use Cat.-5 (or better) cable for 10/100, and Cat.-6
for 10/100/1000.
The LAN connections to the devices(s) should all be wired. However, wireless connections
to other devices (such as laptops) in your office will not impede performance.
All devices must reside on a single subnet. A DHCP server is recommended and must be
on the same subnet as the devices so that IP addresses can be auto-assigned. In most
cases, your network router will have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server that will automatically assign IP addresses to clients. By default, the phone has
DHCP enabled for automatic IP address assignment.
If no DHCP server is present, you can assign static IPs to devices. If you do not have a
DHCP server or do not manually assign static IPs, you will not be able to access the
WebUI and/or enable automatic time updates from an NTP server.
Unless you want to manually set the system clock and manually or locally upgrade
software, an Internet connection to the LAN is required.
A DNS server is recommended to resolve the path to the Internet and to a server for
firmware and configuration updates.
If necessary, the system administrator can also download upgrade files and use the
WebUI to update the device firmware and/or configuration settings manually.
For users whose computers require a GigE Ethernet frame rate (a gigabit per second),
use either IP700G phone or separate Ethernet connections for the deskset and the
computer.
